Collection of quotes of memories and unforgettable moments to reflect on the power of memories.
Our memories are what we are, they are what makes us make the decisions we make, act as we act and love as we love. We would be nothing without our memories but is it possible to remember everything?
The answer is no, but we can take steps so that when the time comes to look back, we have as many memories as we can.
“Life is not the one you lived, but the one you remember and how you remember it to tell it.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The first thing to keep in mind is that the most important part of a memory is the emotion or emotions that it brings . Surely it has happened to you that a certain smell evokes a specific moment in the past. A day with your parents at the flower market comes back to your memory when you notice the smell of fresh flowers or when a perfume reminds you of a person very close to you in the past.
All memories carry with them one or more associated emotions. Those that come with more powerful emotions, fear, disgust, anger, sadness, longing, happiness, etc., are the ones that last the longest in our memory. It is precisely these emotions that make us learn from our experiences so that in the future, we know how to make the decisions that will cause us a more pleasant emotional state.
I have made a compilation of the best quotes of memories and unforgettable moments said by writers, philosophers and celebrities who have spoken about memories and memories so that you can reflect on the power that memories have on us.
